Finishing off the week on a fun note, we see that robotic firm Willow Garage — of special interest to Foresight due to their emphasis on open source — has achieved an important milestone in robotics: namely, the ability for a robot to fetch a beer from the fridge and deliver it.
It’s worth seeing the video.
Note that some of the video is speeded up by 5X or 6X, but these parts are clearly indicated, and it’s an interesting achievement in any case. —Chris Peterson
